Thank you for your prompt reply.
I should have written that this was the first thing I checked before.
The shortcut ALT+O (Result List) was already there, all settings have been taken over.
After further testing I found the cause of the issue (which is no bug):
While pressing the key, the result search bar had the focus, whereas the shortcut is selective for the result list.
SOLUTION:
I changed the shortcut to GLOBAL. Now it works for the result list and for the search bar.
From this little experience allow me to make a proposal:
Make the default shortcut global inside Everything, for several reasons:
1. because in the natural workflow, if you want to tune the results, you normally edit the search, and rarely have the focus in the result list.
2. because the search toggles Ctrl I, Ctrl U and Ctrl M are global and the average user expects Result obmissions to work the same way and soes not to care for the focus.
I understand result omissions is a filter on the results and work completely different from search commands, but for the user experience this is not that obvious and what is more, the average user approach would subsume result omissions under search options.
EDIT:
Feel free to change the topic to something like "Proposal for result ommissions" because "stopped working" as first reaction was definitely wrong!
Another finding was that toggling Result Omissions (being a filter on results) work only if the result list is not empty, so it does not work with an empty home search at program start.
